A new car that has been in a collision cannot achieve the same perfect fit as before, no matter how well it is repaired; there will always be some flaws. Here is some related information about new car repairs: 1. Repair conditions: If a new car's engine is damaged in a collision, the extent of the damage must be assessed. If the main components of the engine (such as the cylinder block and cylinder head) are not cracked or damaged, only the external attached parts need to be replaced. These parts are covered by the warranty policy for 1 year or 20,000 kilometers. If the main components of the engine are damaged, the entire engine assembly will need to be replaced. 2. Exterior damage: If the damage is mainly to the exterior parts, as long as the 4S shop uses original factory parts for repairs, there should be no noticeable issues and it generally won't have any impact.

Does the Steering Wheel Control the Front or Rear Wheels?

The steering wheel is used to control the direction of the front wheels, constantly adjusting their orientation. In general household vehicles, such as sedans and MPVs, the front wheels are controlled for steering. Special vehicles, like forklifts and large excavators, use the steering wheel to control the rear wheels. Reasons for not controlling the rear wheels: 1. Instability: Rear-wheel steering has extremely poor stability, making it difficult to control at higher speeds, which goes against normal driving logic. 2. Cost-ineffectiveness: Current steering assistance systems are divided into hydraulic and electronic types. Electronic power steering theoretically doesn't require mechanical structures for steering, so purely rear-wheel steering could eliminate the need for mechanical backups. However, without mechanical backups, if the vehicle malfunctions, steering control would be lost. If mechanical backups are implemented, a steering rod as long as 1 to 2 meters would be required. Given that cost is a decisive factor in current vehicle manufacturing, this approach would never be permitted.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in a Manual Transmission Car?

Shifting gears in a manual transmission car does not require pressing the brake. When shifting gears, you must first press the clutch pedal all the way down, and the operation of the gear lever should be light, quick, gentle, and precise. The starting steps for such a car are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the 'on' position; 2. Place the gear lever in the neutral position; 3. Press the clutch all the way down and turn the key to the 'start' position. Manual transmission cars are equipped with a manual gearbox, which works by switching different gear sets to achieve gear ratio changes. The manual gearbox consists of a power input shaft, an output shaft, and gears. The power input shaft is connected to the clutch, and the power transmitted from the clutch is directly passed to the gear set through the input shaft. Different gear ratios result in different power transmission effects, and shifting gears while driving refers to changing the gear ratio.

Is 4WD Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive or Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive?

4WD refers to four-wheel drive. The classifications are as follows: 1. Full-time drive: The front and rear wheels always maintain a four-wheel drive mode, with the engine output torque distributed 50:50 between the front and rear wheels during driving. Full-time drive offers excellent driving control and tracking performance, but it consumes more fuel and has poor fuel economy. 2. Part-time drive: The driver can switch between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions. This is the most common drive mode for general off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs. 3. On-demand drive: The drive mode is controlled by a computer. Under normal road conditions, (front) rear-wheel drive is generally used. If the road is poor or the drive wheels slip, the computer will automatically detect and immediately distribute the engine output torque to the other two wheels, switching to four-wheel drive mode. This system is simple to operate.

What to Do When the Manual Gear Lever Becomes Loose?

Manual gear lever becomes loose due to wear of the plastic washer at the linkage joint between the gear lever and the transmission or loosening of the screws. The following are the solutions and precautions: Solutions: Disassemble the gear lever, replace the new plastic washer and tighten the screws. If it does not affect daily gear shifting, it may not need to be replaced. Precautions for Manual Gear Shifting: The clutch pedal should be quickly pressed to the bottom. After shifting gears, the clutch pedal should be lifted quickly at the beginning, and when it reaches the semi-engaged state, it should be lifted slowly, and then lifted quickly until released. When shifting gears, master the timing of shifting, the clutch should be pressed to the bottom in one step, and gear shifting should also be done in one step. Familiarize yourself with the gear positions and practice the feel more.

Should Brake Pads Be Replaced Along with Brake Discs?

Whether to replace brake pads along with brake discs depends on the wear condition of both components. If the brake pads have been recently replaced and show minimal wear, there is no need to replace them. Brake pads play a crucial role in braking and are composed of a steel plate, adhesive heat insulation layer, and friction material. The steel plate undergoes anti-rust coating, with the coating process monitored by a furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. Steps for replacing brake pads: 1. Release the handbrake, loosen the hub bolts of the wheel requiring brake service, and use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Remove the tire to expose the brake caliper and disc, applying lubricant to loosen any screws or nuts that need to be removed; 3. Secure the brake caliper with a rope and remove the old brake pads; 4. Open the hood and unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; 5. Install the new brake pads in the correct position.
